Roofs being finalized with our red roofing tiles produced in our factory on site (note the metal sheet on the roof under the tiles. The Jamii Bora roofs will never leak no matter how heavy the rain storms will be in the future)

Simple methods being used to make sure the gable is perfect before roofing (note the ring beam on top of the walls and under the gable. The Jamii Bora houses will never have cracks in the walls)

Transport and loading of building materials from our factory on site to the construction site is a massive job in it self. We make sure no construction team is without materials at any time and yet we keep the materials on the factory site (where they are safe) until they are really needed. The transport of materials have generated many jobs in the area.

 

The detailed lay-out for the constructed wet-land had to be adapted to unforeseen problems. This has now been done with the best experts and the construction has started this week (August 2007)
